About Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center

Penn State’s Holy Spirit Medical Center has a behavioral health clinic in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. They have outpatient and inpatient programs for medical and mental health. Since 1971, they’ve been serving adults and teens. Among their programs are tracks for Spanish speakers and the LGBTQ+ community.

The residential program is intended for clients ages 4 and older. Depending on your age group, you’ll have a specific track. In all programs, you’ll have therapy, but teens ages 14 and older, along with adults, may be eligible for electroconvulsive therapy. If you’re still in school, they’ll coordinate your care with your educators so you won’t fall behind. The behavioral health department may coordinate your care with other hospital branches, including surgery and primary care, if needed.

When you complete the inpatient program, you’ll downscale to an outpatient program. There are different options, depending on your condition. A day program is available to adults along with an eating disorder track for kids and teens. In contrast, a more traditional outpatient program provides cognitive behavioral therapy and classes to manage your anger and stress. Specific options include anxiety and sleep medicine for children and a geriatrics course for seniors.

Holy Spirit has a wide range of services. However, several past clients have left mixed reviews. Check out their feedback to make sure it’s a good fit for your needs.

I was just there a week ago, and I was extremely nauseous, so they gave me many rounds of anti-nausea medications, including a shot in the buttocks of Tigan. Unfortunately the nurse injected me incorrectly, causing a Sciatic Nerve Injection Injury (SNII). I am now at another hospital ER and they said that the SNII is permanent, and that the pain will possibly get much worse with time. I also will possibly become partially paralyzed from my knees-down because of this over time. I am devastated. I now have to file for disability because I am in so much pain. Thank you Holy Spirit hospital for ruining my life.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Dialectical behavior therapy in Pennsylvania is an evidence based technique that involves group therapy, individual therapy, and phone coaching. Group sessions focus on learning behavioral skills. Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to apply what you're learning to your personal situations. Phone coaching allows you to call your therapist during the week for help with challenging situations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational interviewing in Pennsylvania gives you the opportunity to share your perspective and explore your ideas and motivation for change. Your therapist will walk you through the four steps of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to empower you to make any desired changes in your life.

It is important to process the impact that traumatic experiences have had on your life. During trauma therapy, you and an experienced therapist confront these experiences and the emotional impact it is had. This helps to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve your overall mental health and well being.

Everyone went above and beyond for my father and I during his last days. Melissa (case mgr) Nicole ( nurse) Megan (Palliative care) medical records and the many others that I don t even know. They all displayed care and compassion while keeping me informed along the way. I truly appreciate all they did to make us comfortable while there. My father passed peacefully, words cannot express how much that means. Thank you

I am so fired up right now I want to cause a scene. My son came to this hospital ED in a lot of pain a few weeks ago now. After pretty much telling him it was his pancreas and he needed to quit drinking (which he wasn t at all), they sent him home. Once labs came back it revealed a gallbladder issue. So back to the hospital and surgery the following morning. After recovering at home for a week, he began vomiting and was in pain. Back to the hospital to find out he had 2 fluid filled sections in his abdomen from fluid not suctioned out during surgery (this may be common, I don t know). After another 2 days, they put in drains and started antibiotics. He came back from that procedure an hour and a half ago. The doctor was very nice in explaining his condition but failed to order the muscle relaxers he desperately needs and she knew he was hurting. His whole body is now spasming as they inserted drains via the muscles. After more than an hour I went to the desk and begged them to do something. I know they have many patients, but I don t believe they are all wrenching in pain for an hour and a half. Even then, it took more than 20 minutes to get something to handle the spasms. I don t think it is asking too much to provide the physical relief needed after a procedure such as this. Can you say apathetic. I will never come here!

These people are awful. They don t care for any patients actively experiencing mental health crises and violate 302 legal orders to avoid providing patients with care. I wish the ambulance dropped my loved one off at Hershey Medical where they provide compassionate care and see when patients are in crisis and treat them, instead of treating them like criminals.If you need to go in for crisis care as an emergency and you have the choice to pick your hospital, for your sake and safety, find another hospital.

Penn State health is without a doubt the most incompetent organization I have ever experienced. I am currently in holy Spirit the lack of effective treatment is a disappointment they lack the basic ability to listen to people. I am now forced to speak to multiple people about my treatment all together when left alone some of the staff never follows up on patients requests I will begin recording the conversation soon because of the far fetched nature of the staff here not sure people will believe me otherwise. Not all doctors got straight a's in med school I told my Dr here I need a MRI he ordered a ultrasound
